I would like to setup the simplified HTTP request() client package to abort the download of HTTP resources that are too big.
Let's imagine request() is setup to download an url and the resource size is 5 Gigabytes. I would like request() to stop downloading after 10MB. Usually, when request gets an answer it gets all the HTTP headers and everything behind. Once you manipulate the data, you have already all the downloaded data.
In axios, there is a parameter called maxContentLength but I can't find anything similar for request().
I must also mention, that I don't it to catch an error but only download at least the headers and the beginning of the resource.
